Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extend its lifespan. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions, but generally:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry by hanging the jacket. If using a dryer, tumble dry on a low heat setting for a short period. Excessive heat can damage the waterproof material.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
- Re-waterproofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. You can restore it using a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof garments.
